Don't be silly, it was a thank you for your remark of congratulations Rose. I am fully aware of who is responsible for this achievement.

[A teasing smile] I'd offer a good word but I doubt it'll be needed.

Oh that sounds gorgeous. I've always wanted to travel around Europe, but it's simply finding the time for both myself and my mother. You must tell me about the museums though, perhaps I can even capture just the essence of how wonderful it must have been]

[seeringlight]

Sometimes a thanks is in order. I don't want you to think that you aren't appreciated.

Of course. We all should try our hardest while in school.

[Rose's smile is much more sincere when she starts talking about Germany.] Perhaps we should organize a group to travel sometime! It would be great to visit such wondrous and historical buildings together. The museums were wonderful. I spent so much time amidst them that I had to prolong my trip to do other things when I realize I had barely done anything but them. The art exhibits were my favorite. Muggles really are quite gifted in surprising ways.

It's fine. Seeing people succeed is it's own form of appreciation, in a way.

And yes of course! [A little laugg] Sometimes I'm surprised you weren't placed in Ravenclaw.

[Rose gets Aranea's full attention, her eyes widdening slight] Oh I would love that. Perhaps we could arrange something at school, with some of the Muggle's Studies teachers. It would be such a wonder example of Muggle culture and history, and how the two affected each other.

I'm sure sorting is a difficult task for the Sorting Hat. It's likely that I could have been a Ravenclaw, but my heart was in being a Slytherin. But our House does not make us who we are.

We should ask once we arrive at school and things settle down. I'm sure that if funds are required, my mother would push a reasonable amount to it.
